The 2022-2023 University of Hawai‘i at Manoa (UH Manoa) Catalog is a comprehensive guide to UH Manoa programs, course offerings, services, tuition, financial aid, faculty, facilities, academic policies, and other information of general importance to UH Manoa students. The information in this Catalog is not necessarily complete; names and contact numbers for other publications and offices, which may offer additional information about specific areas of interest, have been included.
The Catalog is divided into five major sections:
- Information about the University and the campus, student services, academic policies, tuition and financial aid;
- Information about the individual colleges and schools and their academic programs;
- Descriptions of courses offered;
- Lists of administrators, faculty, and staff with their academic backgrounds; and
- Campus policies and information, glossary, and index.
If you are a prospective freshman or transfer undergraduate student, consult the sections on undergraduate education, Undergraduate General Education Requirements, tuition, financial aid, and student life. In addition, you should read the program section of the department, college or school that interests you. Before selecting classes, read the course descriptions for prerequisites, credit hours, and other relevant information. For additional information on specific programs of study, consult the department chair, program director, or major advisor.
If you are a prospective graduate student, consult the graduate education section and the graduate chair of the program in which you are interested for information regarding admission requirements, degree options, registration, and related procedures.
If you are a continuing student, keep this Catalog handy as a source of general information. Familiarity with its contents can smooth your progress toward your degree.
Although every effort is made to keep the Catalog correct and current, there will be changes in courses offered and program requirements. Check the Guide to Registration at manoa.hawaii.edu/records/register/guide.html and your department, college or school for the most current information.

Cover and Section Heads: This is the nineteenth year a “Design the Catalog Cover” competition was presented to the UH Manoa student community. Eleazar Herradura, a student in the BFA Graphic Design Program, created a design based on a concept that every graduate has a collection of valuable experiences that has been achieved through UH Manoa. The design illustrates this by using two main imagery as a focus to invite the students in, a graduate, and a group of diverse students that have yet to graduate. Then, as you look at the design, there is a large collection of activities offered at UH Manoa. This showcases the group of students who are looking forward to these experiences, while the graduate is leaving these experiences behind her as she looks ahead to the future as a UH Manoa graduate.
